Let’s sip and savour the Salish Sea with a road trip to local wineries and eateries found on Vancouver Island within a short traveling time from Victoria. Whether we travel up-island to the Cowichan Valley, or out to Victoria’s Saanich Peninsula, your food and wine adventure will be full of cider, distilled and wine beverage tasting opportunities coupled with local cheese, chocolate, lunch or dinner pairings. Be a locavore, experience what is produced here in our Vancouver Island backyard.

Depending on your group’s size, we can travel by car, small bus or bike to a number of different beverage and food tasting opportunities across Southern Vancouver Island, all within each reach of Victoria. Take a day, half day or a couple of hours to enjoy tasty local production. We provide the transportation, plan the journey and arrange visits to the delicious destinations. Packages include your personal guide, tasting fees and transportation as well as meals, if you wish. Sit down with TIDES to customize your tour to meet your interests and time.
